Chapter 6 Response

I would prefer to teach in a classroom with more technology. I think that technology can really enhance and expand the learning experience for students. For example, technology like electronic whiteboards can be very beneficial in the classroom. They will allow lessons to be more interactive and it will be less of the teacher lecturing and more interactions with the students and visual aids really help some students learn better. Another technology that would help in the classroom would be touch screens. I want to be an early childhood teacher and the availability of a touch screen could help the younger kids use computers and it will be less complicated for them. Also, I would like to teach in a classroom that has access to wireless devices. If every student had a wireless device, the whole class could be participating in something at the same time, but it could be more individualized and the students are more likely to pay attention if they can use their own device. Wireless devices could also be great for group work. Overall, with all of the technology that is accessible, I would prefer to teach in a classroom with technology because I believe it creates a more interactive and engaging learning experience for the students.
